['Ed Mcnamara']
US Racing
Street Sense and Nyquist are the only winners of the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (G1) to take the Kentucky Derby (G1).
Ted Noffey will not be the third.
Trainer Todd Pletcher announced Thursday that the undefeated son of top sire Into Mischief is off the Triple Crown trail and sidelined indefinitely because of a bone bruise.
“It’s frustrating, disappointing, but we’ve got to do the right thing by the horse.”The plan was for Ted Noffey to make his 3-year-old debut Feb. 28 in the Fountain of Youth Stakes (G2) at Gulfstream Park.
Ted Noffey dominated his races by a total margin of 11¾ lengths but could not overcome the obstacle of history.
